I'm sticking with Linux due to the bullshit that Microsoft is constantly pulling. Currently, my PC is running Fedora 41, and I love it quite a bit; currently I can't imagine a future where I return to Windows 11. Proton Compatibility Layer makes gaming on any distro fairly easy!
I think I'm going to get the $30 1-year ESU and kick that can down the road. I need to run windows-only software and I can't upgrade because of my processor. Maybe in a year's time I'll be ready for a new build.
Will upgrade my dual-boot, until all my games and stuff works on Linux I can't ditch Windows... Also until I find a replacement for MusicBee's file explorer view.

Neither.
I don't like the rootkit. I do everything I possibly can on Linux aside from the one game that requires it. That said, since they started using the rootkit, there has been a steep drop-off in bots in the game. As in I don't see any anymore. So, annoying and a huge security risk? Absolutely. Dubious? Maybe? Depends on what you mean.
I still use steam on Windows 7. I don't see the problem.
Do you worry about connecting it to the internet?
Nope
Just please make sure it's not internet connected if you value such things as your privacy, and bank accounts not being breached extremely easily. End of security support is no joke.
